Blue Brian Head, UT
Sugar Loaf drops 231 vertical feet over 1,663 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 22° about 420 feet below the top. That's steeper than 58% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 27th steepest of 57 named runs at Brian Head. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 8°, Sugar Loaf gets about 92% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brian Head does, December through March. That's sunnier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 16th sunniest named run at Brian Head. Its top sits at 10,350 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
